Description

A control method for a massage component and a system and mattress using the same Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bedding, and in particular to a control method for a massage component and a system and a mattress using the same. Background Art

[0002] Existing mattresses are upgraded to massage mattresses with a comfortable experience by adding a massage function. The massage mattress includes a cushion body, massage airbags arranged on the cushion body, and a controller that controls the inflation and deflation of the massage airbags. The controller receives instructions from the user and controls the massage airbags to perform inflation and deflation operations, so that the inflated massage airbags exert a pressing force on the user, thereby forming a massage stimulation, which has a relaxing and soothing effect on the user. The massage mattress is equipped with a remote control, which is connected to the controller. When in use, the user sends instructions to the controller through the remote control, and then obtains a corresponding massage experience by controlling the operating parameters of the massage airbags. Since the user's whole body will be relaxed during the massage process, the controller runs the preset massage program according to the user's settings and forms a specific massage stimulation. If the current massage stimulation intensity cannot provide the user with a comfortable experience, the user must use the remote control to change the massage stimulation, causing the user to move because they need to pick up and operate the remote control, thereby breaking the state of rest and relaxation of the whole body and affecting the massage experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to address the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a control method for a massage component, a system using the same, and a mattress. The controller generates control instructions by detecting changes in air pressure in the massage airbag, and then adjusts and controls the operating parameters of the massage airbag. This not only eliminates the need for the user to operate the remote control, thereby improving the relaxation effect, but also allows the massage stimulation to be actively or dynamically adjusted according to the user's situation, thereby enhancing the massage experience.

[0004] A control method for a massage assembly, wherein the massage assembly includes a plurality of massage airbags, the air pressure in the massage airbags being independently controlled by a controller, is implemented by the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: The controller monitors the position and posture of the massage object according to the pressure change in the massage airbag and generates a bed instruction and a start instruction in sequence to control the start of the massage component;

[0006] Step 2: The massage airbags include at least a waist massage bag, which can switch between a monitoring state and a massage state. When the upper waist massage bag switches to the monitoring state, the controller obtains the massage subject's breathing frequency value F and breathing amplitude value H through the frequency and amplitude of air pressure changes in the waist massage bag;

[0007] In step three, the controller independently monitors the changes in air pressure in each massage airbag and generates massage adjustment instructions. The controller generates massage follow-up instructions according to the changes in the breathing frequency value F and the breathing amplitude value H. The controller adjusts the operating parameters of the massage component according to the generated massage adjustment instructions or massage follow-up instructions.

[0008] The controller generates control instructions by detecting the changes in air pressure inside the massage airbag, and then adjusts and controls the operating parameters of the massage airbag. There is no need for the user to grab or visually operate the remote control. The relaxation effect is enhanced by relaxing the whole body. The massage stimulation can also be actively or dynamically adjusted according to the user's situation to enhance the massage experience.

[0009] In step one, the controller senses whether the user, who is the massage object, has gotten into bed through the change in air pressure in the massage airbag, and detects whether each body part of the user is accurately placed on the corresponding massage airbag, ensuring that the massage stimulation generated by the massage airbag after operation can be accurately transmitted to the corresponding body part of the user.

[0010] In step two, since the waist will move up and down when the user breathes, the frequency and amplitude of the vertical displacement of the waist are detected by the change of air pressure in the waist massage bag, and then the user's breathing frequency and amplitude are calculated, which is used to form a reference for judging whether the user has fallen asleep and provide data support for the follow-up operation of the massage airbag.

[0011] In step three, the controller can obtain control instructions and adjust the operating parameters of the massage airbags in two ways. In the first method, the user lifts or presses down on their torso. The controller detects the corresponding increase or decrease in air pressure within the massage airbags to adjust the massage intensity. The user can control the massage airbags with relatively small movements. In the second method, the user slows down their breathing rate and amplitude as they fall asleep. The controller senses the user's breathing parameters by detecting changes in air pressure within the waist massage airbags, and then adjusts the operating parameters of all massage airbags accordingly to facilitate the user's sleep and prevent excessive massage intensity from affecting the user's sleep.

[0012] Preferably, in step one, the massage airbags include at least buttocks massage airbags. When the controller detects that the air pressure in the waist massage bag and the buttocks massage bag has risen to 1 kPa, the controller generates an in-bed instruction and controls all the massage airbags to perform synchronous rhythmic reminders. Since the waist massage bag and the buttocks massage bag have a large coverage area on the top surface of the mattress, the reliability of determining whether the user is in bed is effectively improved. By generating an in-bed instruction to control all the massage airbags to perform synchronous rhythmic reminders, it is convenient for each torso of the user to accurately reset by sensing the rhythmic reminder of the corresponding massage airbag, thereby ensuring that the massage intensity generated by each massage airbag can be effectively transmitted to the corresponding torso. When the air pressure in the waist massage bag and the buttocks massage bag rises at the same time, it indicates that a large area of ​​the top surface of the mattress is under pressure at the same time, effectively avoiding the situation where the user is accidentally triggered by sitting on the mattress.

[0013] Preferably, in step 1, when the controller detects that the air pressure within all massage airbags has risen to 1 kPa, the controller generates a massage start command and controls each massage airbag to perform a massage action at a preset massage intensity and duration. Guided by the synchronized rhythm, each segment of the user's body is accurately reset, causing the air pressure within each massage airbag to rise synchronously to a threshold value due to the compression of the corresponding segment, indicating that the user is fully prepared. The massage start command is then generated, controlling each massage airbag to apply massage stimulation to the corresponding segment of the user according to the preset parameters.

[0014] Preferably, in step 2, a graph is drawn showing the frequency and amplitude of the air pressure changes in the waist massage bag, and the breathing frequency value F and the breathing amplitude value H are calculated by statistically analyzing the peak-to-valley change frequency and peak-to-valley change amplitude, respectively. The user's waist rises and falls synchronously with breathing, and this rising and falling waist exerts different squeezing forces on the waist massage bag, causing the air pressure inside the waist massage bag to fluctuate. The user's breathing frequency and breathing amplitude are calculated by statistically analyzing the fluctuation frequency and fluctuation amplitude of the curve, thereby providing data support for the controller to generate corresponding instructions.

[0015] Preferably, in step three, the first unit monitoring time T1 is set. When the difference between the air pressure values ​​P(n) and P(n+1) obtained within adjacent first unit monitoring time periods of any massage airbag is greater than 1 kPa, P(n) is set as the basic pressure value. If the difference between the air pressure values ​​P(n+i) and the basic pressure value obtained within i consecutive first unit monitoring time periods is greater than 1 kPa, the controller generates a massage adjustment instruction for the massage airbag and controls the corresponding massage airbag to adjust the massage intensity. After the adjustment is completed, the controller returns to step one and operates in a loop. When the user's torso performs a lifting or pressing action, the air pressure in the corresponding massage airbag will also change accordingly. The controller determines whether the triggering requirement is met by detecting the air pressure change in the massage airbag in real time, and generates a corresponding massage adjustment instruction for controlling the operating parameters of the corresponding massage airbag so that each torso of the user can obtain a comfortable massage stimulation. By requiring that the difference between P(n+i) and the baseline pressure value, obtained over a continuous period of i first-unit monitoring periods, be greater than 1 kPa, the user is ensured to trigger massage adjustment commands through continuous lifting or pressing movements, effectively preventing false triggering due to normal body movements. When the user's torso is in a normal lying position, the amplitude of the massage stimulation generated by the massage airbag due to inflation and deflation is less than 1 kPa. This ensures that the controller can effectively detect the impact of downward or lifting movements on the air pressure within the massage airbag, thereby ensuring reliable and sensitive control.

[0016] Preferably, when the massage subject applies a downward squeezing force to the massage airbag, and P(n+i)-P(n)>1kPa, the controller generates an intensity-up instruction, increasing the massage intensity of the corresponding massage airbag by 20%. The user increases the air pressure within the massage airbag by pressing down on it, and when the triggering conditions are met, an intensity-up instruction is generated, increasing the massage intensity of the massage airbag to meet the user's differentiated individual needs. When a massage adjustment instruction is triggered, the operating parameters of the corresponding massage airbag are adjusted. The operating parameter adjustment method can be to change the massage mode or to change the massage intensity or duration.

[0017] Preferably, when the massage object is lifted upward and the force applied to the massage airbag is reduced, and P(n)-P(n+i)>1kPa, the controller generates a massage adjustment command for decreasing the intensity, corresponding to a 20% decrease in the massage intensity of the massage airbag. The user lowers the air pressure within the massage airbag by lifting it, and when the trigger condition is met, an intensity-down command is generated, reducing the massage intensity of the massage airbag to meet the user's differentiated individual needs.

[0018] Preferably, 50ms≤T1≤100ms, and 10≤i≤20. Reasonable triggering durations are achieved by setting reasonable parameters T1 and i. This not only increases the duration of the pressing or lifting action to avoid false triggering, but also reduces operational difficulty by shortening the duration of the pressing or lifting action, thereby minimizing the impact on the user's resting and relaxed state.

[0019] Preferably, when the controller detects a decrease in the user's respiratory rate (F) and respiratory amplitude (H), it generates a massage follow-up command, controlling the massage component to adjust the massage intensity and duration accordingly. As a user's respiratory parameters gradually decrease during sleep, the controller determines the user's sleep state by sensing these changes and generates a massage follow-up command to reduce the massage intensity and duration, minimizing the impact on the user's sleep.

[0020] Preferably, the second monitoring unit duration T2 is set. If the respiratory rate F or respiratory amplitude H values ​​obtained within the adjacent second monitoring unit durations decrease by more than 5%, the massage intensity is reduced by 5%, and the massage duration is reduced by 5% of the remaining duration. By reducing the massage intensity and duration, the massage stimulation to the user is reduced to prevent waking a sleeping user. The massage airbags continue to operate for the remaining duration and then shut down.

[0021] Preferably, the air pressure in the waist massage bag is monitored in real time and a pressure curve is drawn. The breathing frequency value F is obtained by counting the fluctuation frequency in the curve, and the breathing amplitude value H is obtained by counting the fluctuation amplitude of the curve. The air pressure in the waist massage bag is detected in real time and the resulting curve is drawn. The user's breathing frequency and breathing amplitude are calculated by counting the fluctuation frequency and fluctuation amplitude of the curve, thereby providing data support for the controller to generate corresponding instructions.

[0022] A system using the control method comprises:

[0023] The massage module is adjusted up and down by air pressure control to perform massage operations on the massage object;

[0024] Air pressure detection module, to detect the air pressure inside the massage module;

[0025] The processing module generates corresponding control instructions based on the air pressure change data in the massage module provided by the air pressure detection module;

[0026] The air pressure regulating module receives the control instructions from the processing module and controls the inflation and deflation of the massage module so that the massage module can complete the corresponding action;

[0027] A storage module storing computer programs and preset parameters required for executing the control method;

[0028] The processing module obtains the air pressure data in the massage module through the air pressure detection module, and generates a control instruction to control the action of the air pressure regulation module after comparing it with the preset parameters in the storage module, so that the massage module completes the corresponding action by charging and discharging air.

[0029] A mattress utilizing the control method includes a cushion, a massage assembly mounted on the cushion, and a controller for controlling the operation of the massage assembly. The controller independently monitors changes in air pressure within each massage airbag, generates corresponding control instructions, and controls the massage assembly to perform corresponding actions. The massage assembly includes waist massage bladders, buttocks massage bladders, left shoulder massage bladders, right shoulder massage bladders, left leg massage bladders, and right leg massage bladders, corresponding to respective segments of the user's body. Each massage airbag detects the compressive force applied by the corresponding segment of the user's body, thereby providing data support for the controller to generate various control instructions. This ensures that the user can control the massage assembly through active or passive body movements, enhancing both the control experience and the user experience.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the controller generates control instructions by detecting the changes in air pressure in the massage airbag, and then adjusts and controls the operating parameters of the massage airbag. The user does not need to grab or visually operate the remote control, etc. The relaxation effect is improved by relaxing the whole body. The massage stimulation can be actively or dynamically adjusted according to the user's situation to enhance the massage experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] The essential features of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] This embodiment provides a control method for a massage component.

[0039] As shown in FIG1 , a control method for a massage assembly includes a massage airbag, and the air pressure in the massage airbag is independently controlled by a controller 7 , which is achieved by the following steps:

[0040] Step 1: The controller 7 monitors the position and posture of the massage object according to the pressure change in the massage airbag and generates a bed instruction and a start instruction in sequence to control the start of the massage component;

[0041] Step 2: The massage airbag includes at least a waist massage bag 1, which can switch between a monitoring state and a massage state. When the waist massage bag 1 switches to the monitoring state, the controller 7 obtains the breathing frequency value F and the breathing amplitude value H of the massage subject through the frequency and amplitude of the air pressure change in the waist massage bag 1;

[0042] In step three, the controller 7 independently monitors the changes in air pressure in each massage airbag and generates massage adjustment instructions. The controller 7 generates massage follow-up instructions according to the changes in the respiratory frequency value F and the respiratory amplitude value H. The controller 7 adjusts the operating parameters of the massage component according to the generated massage adjustment instructions or massage follow-up instructions.

[0043] The controller 7 generates control instructions by detecting the changes in air pressure in the massage airbag, and then adjusts and controls the operating parameters of the massage airbag. The user does not need to grab or visually operate the remote control, etc. The relaxation effect is improved by relaxing the whole body. The massage stimulation can also be actively or dynamically adjusted according to the user's situation to enhance the massage experience.

[0044] In this embodiment, the controller 7 is in a normally open state, and the waist massage bag 1 and the buttocks massage bag 2 always have initial air pressure, so that the waist massage bag 1 and the buttocks massage bag 2 generate air pressure changes through compression deformation. When in use, the massage components are controlled by the following specific steps:

[0045] S101: When the controller 7 detects that the air pressure in the waist massage bag 1 and the buttocks massage bag 2 has risen to 1 kPa, the controller 7 generates a bed instruction and controls all the massage air bags to perform synchronous rhythmic reminders.

[0046] Specifically, when no one is in bed, the waist massage bag 1 and the buttocks massage bag 2 are at a lower air pressure value because they are not squeezed, and the air pressure sensor detects that the air pressure value is less than 0.1Kpa; when the user lies on the bed in the posture of receiving a massage, the waist massage bag 1 and the buttocks massage bag 2 will produce an increase in air pressure due to the compression of the human body's gravity. The corresponding air pressure sensor detects that the air pressure values ​​in the waist massage bag 1 and the buttocks massage bag 2 are greater than 1kpa at the same time, indicating that the user has lay down on the bed. The controller 7 forms a bed instruction and controls all massage airbags to perform synchronous rhythmic reminders, so that each body segment of the user can find the corresponding position according to the surrounding rhythm to ensure that each body segment of the user is accurately connected to the corresponding massage airbag.

[0047] Specifically, each massage airbag achieves synchronous rhythm by synchronous inflation and deflation. The duration and frequency of the rhythm can be adjusted as needed, preferably 1-3 times and a rhythmic reminder of 3-5 seconds to assist the user in torso displacement and body posture adjustment.

[0048] S102: When the controller 7 detects that the air pressure in all massage airbags has risen to 1 kPa, the controller 7 generates a massage start instruction and controls each massage airbag to perform a massage action at a preset massage intensity and for a preset massage duration.

[0049] Specifically, when the air pressure in each massage airbag reaches above 1 kPa, it indicates that each body part of the user has moved above the corresponding massage airbag, indicating that the user is ready for massage relaxation, and the controller 7 generates a massage start instruction.

[0050] Specifically, since the weight and height of different users may vary, the pressure value used to determine whether to trigger can also be adjusted according to actual conditions, effectively improving the triggering accuracy of the controller 7 in forming the massage start instruction, avoiding accidental touches or failure to trigger due to failure to reach the preset air pressure.

[0051] S103: After forming the massage start instruction, the controller 7 will first execute the massage plan preset by the user. The user can pre-set it through human-computer interaction methods such as mobile phone app, control panel or remote control, so that it is convenient to make adjustments based on this basis according to usage needs later, ensuring that the massage stimulation can meet the user's current needs and improving the adjustment accuracy through small adjustments.

[0052] S104: After the massage component is activated, the waist massage capsule 1 alternates between massage mode and detection mode, providing massage stimulation to the waist while also facilitating the controller 7 to infer the user's breathing parameters by acquiring data on air pressure changes within the waist massage capsule 1. When the waist massage capsule 1 is in massage mode, the process proceeds to S107. When the waist massage capsule 1 is in detection mode, the waist airbag is inflated to 1 kPa, maintaining the pressure without any further inflation or deflation, and the process proceeds to S106. If a waist massage is in progress, the process proceeds directly to S107.

[0053] Specifically, the waist massage bag 1 can switch between massage mode and detection mode. It can ensure that the controller 7 can obtain the user's breathing parameters regularly by presetting the alternating time, and can also obtain the user's breathing parameters at irregular intervals by presetting the stop interval of the waist massage bag 1 in the massage plan.

[0054] S105: The waist massage bag 1 is in the detection mode, and the controller 7 collects the air pressure value in the waist massage bag 1 in real time. The collection period is 5-10 seconds and the air pressure is recorded in the memory.

[0055] S106: Draw a graph of the frequency and amplitude of the air pressure change of the waist massage bag 1, and calculate the breathing frequency value F and the breathing amplitude value H by counting the peak-to-valley change frequency and the peak-to-valley change amplitude respectively.

[0056] Specifically, the respiratory frequency F and respiratory amplitude H are calculated by the peak and trough judgment algorithm. The respiratory frequency is calculated by counting the number of peaks and troughs, and the respiratory amplitude is calculated by measuring the difference between the peaks and troughs.

[0057] Specifically, by measuring the difference between the peak and the trough and the breathing amplitude, a conversion coefficient can be obtained through experiments, thereby facilitating real-time conversion based on the difference obtained by detection.

[0058] S107: Controller 7 applies massage stimulation to each segment of the user's body through each massage airbag according to a preset scheme. Simultaneously, controller 7 independently monitors the air pressure within each massage airbag in real time and, when a trigger condition is met, generates corresponding control and adjustment instructions for the massage airbag that triggers the condition. Controller 7 obtains the air pressure parameter values ​​P(n) and P(n+1) of the massage airbag within two adjacent first unit monitoring periods:

[0059] When P(n+1)-P(n)≥1kPa, the air pressure in the massage airbag increases, indicating that the user's corresponding body segment is applying downward pressure to the massage airbag, and the process jumps to S108;

[0060] When P(n+1)-P(n)≤-1kPa, the air pressure in the massage airbag decreases, indicating that the user's corresponding body segment is applying a lifting action to the massage airbag, and the process jumps to S109;

[0061] When the difference between P(n) and P(n+1) is less than 1 kPa, jump to S110.

[0062] Specifically, the first unit monitoring time T1 is preferably 50ms-100ms, which not only improves the detection accuracy by shortening the time, but also reduces the computing workload by increasing the time.

[0063] Specifically, the controller 7 can perform air pressure detection on the massage airbag at a preset frequency within a first unit monitoring time, and perform cumulative average calculation on the obtained data to prevent false triggering due to large deviation of single measurement data.

[0064] S108: Set P(n) as the base pressure value. If P(n+i) obtained within i consecutive first-unit monitoring time periods all meet the requirement of P(n+i)-P(n)≥1kPa, it indicates that the user has continuously applied downward pressure to the massage airbag for i consecutive first-unit monitoring time periods. Controller 7 generates an intensity increase instruction for the massage airbag, correspondingly increases the massage intensity of the massage airbag by 20%, and jumps to S102. Otherwise, the process jumps directly to S102 to receive the user's physical instruction again.

[0065] Specifically, the massage intensity adjustment range after a single trigger can be set as needed to control the adjustment accuracy. Parameters such as massage duration can also be adjusted after a single trigger, which should also be considered as a specific implementation of this embodiment.

[0066] Specifically, when the difference between P(n) and P(n+i) is less than 1 kPa, it indicates that the user has finished pressing down on his limbs, and the massage airbag will apply massage stimulation at the adjusted intensity.

[0067] S109: If P(n) is set as the base pressure value and P(n+i) obtained for i consecutive first-unit monitoring periods satisfies P(n+i)-P(n)≤-1 kPa, it indicates that the user has continuously applied upward movement to the massage airbag for i consecutive first-unit monitoring periods. The massage adjustment command generated by controller 7 is an intensity reduction command, reducing the massage intensity of the corresponding massage airbag by 20%. After the single triggering action is completed, the process jumps to S102. Otherwise, the process jumps directly to S102 to receive the user's physical command again.

[0068] Specifically, the massage intensity adjustment range after a single trigger can be set as needed to control the adjustment accuracy. Parameters such as massage duration can also be adjusted after a single trigger, which should also be considered as a specific implementation of this embodiment.

[0069] Specifically, when the difference between P(n) and P(n+i) is less than 1 kPa, it indicates that the user has finished lifting the limbs, and the massage airbag will apply massage stimulation at the adjusted intensity.

[0070] S110: When the difference between P(n) and P(n+i) is less than 1 kPa, it is determined that the user has not implemented the physical instruction, and the process jumps to S111.

[0071] S111: The controller 7 obtains the respiratory frequency F and respiratory amplitude H obtained in S106, and determines the respiratory frequency F or respiratory amplitude H between adjacent preset time periods. When the respiratory frequency F or amplitude H decreases by more than 5%, the controller 7 generates a massage follow-up instruction, controls the massage component to perform follow-up adjustment to reduce the massage intensity and shorten the massage time, and jumps to S102; otherwise, jumps directly to S102.

[0072] Specifically, when the massage follow-up instruction is triggered, the massage intensity is reduced by 5%, and the massage duration is reduced by 5% of the remaining duration. The specific reduction value can be set as needed and should also be regarded as a specific implementation method of this embodiment.

[0073] Specifically, when the user falls asleep, the breathing frequency F and breathing amplitude H will both decrease, so that the frequency and amplitude of the air pressure rise and fall in the waist massage bag 1 will also decrease accordingly, and then the impact on the user will be reduced by reducing the massage intensity and remaining massage time of all massage airbags, thereby preventing the user from waking up due to massage stimulation.

[0074] The control method is implemented through the above process to ensure that users have a better user experience.

[0075] In this embodiment, 50ms≤T1≤100ms, 10≤i≤20. Preferably, T1=50ms, i=10, then when the user's lifting action or pressing action lasts for 0.5s, the controller 7 triggers the corresponding intensity reduction instruction or intensity reduction instruction.

[0076] In this embodiment, there are multiple massage airbags, including waist massage airbag 1, buttocks massage airbag 2, left shoulder massage airbag 3, right shoulder massage airbag 4, left leg massage airbag 5, and right leg massage airbag 6, corresponding to the respective body segments of the massage subject. The number of massage airbags and the corresponding body segments can be adjusted according to the user's needs and should be considered as specific implementation methods of this embodiment.

[0078] Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a system using the control method.

[0079] As shown in Figure 2, a system includes a massage module, an air pressure detection module, a processing module, an air pressure regulation module, and a storage module. The processing module obtains air pressure data within the massage module through the air pressure detection module and, after comparing it with preset parameters in the storage module, generates control instructions for controlling the operation of the air pressure regulation module, so that the massage module completes the corresponding action by inflating and deflating air.

[0080] In this embodiment, the massage module is a massage airbag, which is raised and lowered by air pressure control to perform massage operations on the massage object.

[0081] In this embodiment, the air pressure detection module is an air pressure sensor provided in the massage airbag, which detects the air pressure in the massage module.

[0082] In this embodiment, the processing module is a processing chip provided in the controller 7, which generates corresponding control instructions according to the air pressure change data in the massage module provided by the air pressure detection module.

[0083] In this embodiment, the air pressure regulating module is an air pump, pipeline and electromagnetic valve arranged in the controller 7, which receives control instructions from the processing module and controls the inflation and deflation of the massage module so that the massage module can complete corresponding actions.

[0084] In this embodiment, the storage module is a storage chip provided in the controller 7 , which stores computer programs and preset parameters required for executing the control method.
